ZnO nanorods were grown on $SiO_2$ coated Si wafers and glass by the hydrothermal method. The structural and optical properties variation of ZnO nanorods as a function of growing time was studied. ~10 nm-thick ZnO thin films deposited on substrates by rf magnetron sputtering were employed as seed layers. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (0.05 M) and hexamethylenetetramine (0.05 M) mixed in DI water were used as a reaction solution. ZnO nanorods were respectively grown for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h by maintaining the reactor at $90^{\circ}C$. Crystallinity of ZnO nanorods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of nanorods was observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope. Transmittance and absorbance were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and energy band gap and urbach energy were obtained from the data. Photoluminescence measurements were carried out using Nd-Yag laser (266 nm).

The purposed of this work was to determine nanotube shape variation on the Ti-xNb alloys with alloying elements and applied potentials. Samples were prepared by arc melting, followed by followed by homogenization for 12 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. This study was evaluated the phase and microstructure of Ti-xNb alloys using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical microscopy (OM). The morphology of the samples was investigated with a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The nanotube on the alloy surface was formed in 1 M $H_3PO_4$ with small additions of NaF 0.8 wt.%. All anodization treatments were carried out using a scanning potentiostat (Model 362, EG&G, USA) at constant voltage 30 V for 120 min, respectively. The morphology of the samples was investigated with a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Surface characteristics of nanotbue formed on Ti-xNb alloys was investigated by potentiodynamic test and potentiostatic in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the changed ${\alpha}$ phase to ${\beta}$ phase with Nb content.

Nanosized surface structures of Cu powders were investigated at the atomic scale by field-emission transmission electron microscope techniques. The nanoscale surface oxide layer on the Cu powder was analyzed to be the $CU_2O$ phase by electron diffraction pattern and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. In addition, it was found from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study that there are formed no surface oxide layers on the surface of alkanethiol coated Cu powders.

We fabricated BiAlO thin film by a solution process with a brush coating to be used as liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer. Solution-processed BiAlO was coated on the glass substrate by brush process. Prepared thin films were annealed at different temperatures of 80℃, 180℃, and 280℃. To verify whether the BiAlO film was formed properly, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was performed on Bi and Al. Using a crystal rotation method by polarized optical microscopy, LC alignment state was evaluated. At the annealing temperature of 280℃, the uniform homogenous LC alignment was achieved. To reveal the mechanism of LC alignment by brush coating, field emission scanning electron microscope was used. Through this analysis, spin-coated and brush coated film surface were compared. It was revealed that physical anisotropy was induced by brush coating at a high annealing temperature. Particles were aligned in one direction along which brush coating was made, resulting in a physical anisotropy that affects a uniform LC alignment. Therefore, it was confirmed that brush coating combined with BiAlO thin film annealed at high temperature has a significant potential for LC alignment.

A Nano-tip as a cold field emitter for inducing a field emission current has manufactured in many ways. In the paper, the electrochemical etching method is used. Thus, in order to optimize the final shape as the field emitter, the reliable fabrication system for electrochemical etching was constructed. In addition, the effective parameters such as applied voltage, submerged length, meniscus height, electrolyte concentration and environmental condition(vibration, humidity, cut-off time) have investigated in detail. By controlling the parameters, reliable tungsten tip for field emitter was fabricated. And the fabricated tungsten tip was evaluated optically. Finally, the very sharp apex of the tungsten tip was observed with scanning electron microscope.

Acoustic microscopy has attracted much interest recently as potential nondestructive evaluation technique for detecting and sizing defects of surface and sub-surface. Also acoustic emission testing method has been developed for detecting microcracks which is more than 30${\mu}m$ in length quantitatively on ceramics. In the present paper, acoustic emission during the four point bending test in hot-pressed sintered $Si_3N_4$ specimen which was stressed by thermal shock, has been measured by high sensitive sensing system. The surface and sub-surface cracks were detected by scanning acoustic micrscope of 800 MHz and conventional ultrasonic testing in C-scope image. The purpose was to investigate the location and size of cracks by SAM and AE technique, whose experimental data demonstrate good for detecting microcracks.

Recently, atomic force microscope(AFM) with suitable tips is being used for nano fabrication/nanometric machining purposes. In this paper, acoustic emission(AE) was introduced to monitor the nanometric machining of brittle materials(silicon) using AFM. In the experiments, AE responses were sampled, as the tip load was linearly increased(ramped load), to investigate the machining characteristics during a continuous movement. By analyzing the experimental results, it can be concluded that measured AE energy is sensitive to changes in the mechanism of material removal including the ductile-brittle transition during the nanometric machining. The critical depth of cut value for the transition is evaluated and discussed.

Er-doped ZnO(ZnO:Er) films were deposited onto MgO wafers by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at 550 $^{\circ}C$ varying the concentration of Er in the deposition source from 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt%. Annealing of the films in a vacuum was carried out to increase the intensity of ultraviolet(UV) emission from the films. The annealing temperature was between 600$^{\circ}C$ and 800$^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscope(SEM), respectively. The properties of photoluminescence(PL) for the films were investigated by the dependence of PL spectra on the annealing temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) was conducted to find the composition change in the films by the annealing.

A field emission electron gun including 3 electrodes including one cathode and two anodes is very important for high resolution electron microscope. To have functions to control the initially-emitted electron beam, two anodes act as an electrostatic lens according to equipotential lines by adjusting the spot size, intensity, and working distance. To verify the action of the electron beam by the electrostatic lens by changing several parameters such as electrode shape, displacement and applied voltage to the electrodes, the two lenses were design and simulated and then their performances were analyzed with angular beam intensity(distribution), electrical optic axis variation and their stability.

OLED 소자는 발광 방향에 따라 Bottom Emission 방식과 Top Emission 방식으로 나뉜다. 이 중 대면적 OLED TV 적용에 개구율이 더 높은 Top Emission방식을 선호하는 추세이다. 높은 개구율을 가진 Top Emission OLED소자를 위해서는 투명하고 전도성이 높은 캐소드가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Themal Evaporation 시스템을 이용하여 증착한 $SnO_2/Ag-Pd-Cu(APC)/SnO_2$ hybrid 전극의 특성을 연구하고 Oxide/Metal/Oxide(OMO) hybrid 박막의 bending mechanism을 제시하였다. base pressure는 $1{\times}10^{-6}Torr$로 고정하고 $SnO_2$ 박막은 0.34A / 0.32V, APC 박막은 0.46A / 0.40V의 power로 성막하였다. APC와 $SnO_2$의 두께를 변수로 OMO 전극을 제작하였고 그 전기적, 광학적 특성을 Hall measurement, UV/Visible spectroscopy을 이용하여 분석하고 Figure of merit 값을 바탕으로 최적 두께를 설정하였다. UPS(Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석으로 $SnO_2/APC/SnO_2$ 전극의 일함수을 통해 투명 cathode로 쓰였을 때 $SnO_2$ 층이 buffer layer역할을 함을 확인하였다. XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 이용하여 정성분석과 정량분석을 하였고 OMO hybrid 전극의 bending mechanism 연구를 위해 다양한 bending test (Inner/Outer dynamic fatigue test, twisting test, rolling test)를 진행하였다. 물리적 힘이 가해진 OMO hybrid 전극의 표면과 구조는 FE-SEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) 분석을 통해서 확인할 수 있었다.
